Download the lastest driver from the Promise web site and follow the "readme." I just installed one of these last week and it worked well. The install is a bit cumbersome, but it does work.

Hello,

I am currently attempting to setup a Promise FastTrack mirrored RAID
array. The intention is to take an existing single hard drive and turn
it into a mirrored, bootable array.

I began by booting the original system and installed the FastTrack
driver (released June 23 I believe). The install went okay, but upon
reboot I received a Kernel Panic because it could not find root in
"LABEL=/".

Looking around the message boards, I discovered that I needed to change
Grub's device.map file to reference (hd0) as /dev/sda rather than
/dev/hda. Once I did this I then changed the root=LABEL=/ to
root=/dev/sda2 in grub.conf. I left the /etc/fstab using LABEL=/
variables for root and /boot. Upon rebooting all seemed to go well until
I began getting errors about "DriveStatusNotReady" regarding /dev/hde.

I subsequently hid all the ide channels (using the ide2=0, ide3=0, etc
appened to the kernel boot in grub.conf). Rebooting again resulted in
the system not getting as far and dying with a message saying that
"init" could not be located.

Do you have any suggestions as to what might be wrong?

Regards

Sam Crawford
